What is this?

Thank you all for reviewing and giving me the inspiration needed to conclude story.

--Previously--

Sasuke slowly blinked his eyes open; onyx traveled the room while his mind determined what it was that had awoken him.

Ring…

Groaning, he rolled his body over enough to reach the phone that was persistently dragging him to consciousness no matter how much he struggled. Blessedly released from the constant ringing, he brought the handset to his ear and grunted.

“What?”

“Mr. Uchiha, this is your requested wake-up call. It is now 9:00 in the morning…” Sasuke rubbed the sleep from his eyes as he vaguely listened to the hotel employee. “…as requested, we shall have a car ready to take you to the airport in two hours when you check out. Please be sure to…” His attention was caught by a piece of paper that had been set on the table near the phone, picking it up, he read a telephone number with a name beneath it. “Is there anything further I can assist you with Mr. Uchiha?”

“Naruto Uzumaki.”

--And now the conclusion…maybe--

“I’m sorry, sir, Mr. Uzumaki is not currently available. Do you wish me to leave a message for him?”

Sasuke nearly dropped the phone when he heard the lady on the other end answer him. He hadn’t even realized he had spoken the name aloud until the hotel receptionist responded. ‘Wait a minute!’

“What did you just say?”

“I said that Mr. Uzumaki is not currently available. He is assisting another guest at the moment. If you wish, I can have him call you back when he is through.”

“Naruto Uzumaki works here?” Sasuke wanted to smack himself. He was an Uchiha, he should have better control over himself than allowing that much emotion into his voice when speaking to a stranger. He was surprised by just how much excitement he felt at the prospect of seeing that blond man from last night, Naruto.

The silence on the other end spoke volumes for the amount of confusion the receptionist must have been feeling. “Um, yes, sir.” She spoke slowly and clearly, not sure what to do in this situation. “He is the Assistant Manager for the hotel.”

“Yes, of course. Thank you.” Sasuke barely gave any attention to what he was saying, his thoughts on shades of gold and a particularly lovely blue.

"Do you wish me to give him a message, sir?"

"Yes, please have him come up to my room as soon as possible, there is something I wish to discuss before I check out."

"Perhaps I would be able to assist you, sir. Do you mind if I ask what this is regarding?"

"Yes, I do. Have Mr. Uzumaki meet me before I leave."

"Yes, sir. I will pass along your request."

"Thank you." He hung up the phone. Not knowing how long he had, he ran into the bathroom to perform his morning ritual. Freshly showered and dressed, he took a more leisurely pace as he collected his belongings.

It was as he had very nearly finished packing his luggage that he heard a knock on his door. Suddenly, he was nervous. What if Naruto Uzumaki wasn't the hot and very interesting blond he spent part of his night with? He didn't know if he was the one who left the name and number on the paper. Maybe the note had been there before he and the blond arrived. He had not been paying that much attention to his room the previous night. He had been just a little bit distracted.

Swallowing his trepidation, he opened his door and greeted his visitor.

Naruto waited in the elevator as it ascended the tower of his hotel. Well...not his, but he had worked there for several years and would soon be promoted to manager if things continued going well. He bit his lip as the elevator stopped on the 17th floor. This made the situation he now found himself in very awkward.

He slept with a guest; not a firing offense, but it would certainly count against him if anyone should find out.

'How the fuck did he figure out I work here? Beyond that, why did that sexy bastard have to "request" my presence instead of just calling my cell number like any normal person?'

Approaching the door marked 1723, he took a deep breath before knocking. It took a little over a minute before the door opened. That deep breath was explosively expelled as he took in the man before him. Gods, he was beautiful.

"So, you're Naruto?" It took some effort, but he managed to keep his voice calm, barely expressing his curiosity.

Sasuke watched as the blond looked truly nervous for the first time in their short acquaintance. Those wonderful blue eyes refused to meet his own though the man did nod his head affirmatively.

"Would you like to come in?"

Biting his lip, and probably not even realizing he was doing it, Naruto nodded again and entered the suite. Sasuke closed the door behind them and then preceded him into the main room and sat on the sofa while directing Naruto to sit on the opposite lounge chair.

They sat there very aware of the other as each contemplated what they were supposed to do now. It was Naruto who broke the silence first.

"So, um, you asked for me?"

"You left your name for me." Sasuke deadpanned.

"And my number, my personal number, as in not-the-number-I-use-for-work, my job, what I should be doing right now. How the hell did you even figure out I worked here...or did you know already?" Blue eyes narrowed as he observed the raven with suspicion.

"Actually, it was an accident. I had just found and read your note when that girl from the front desk called. I couldn't believe it was really you until I opened the door." Sasuke didn't want this meeting to end because of any misunderstandings. He had also wondered if Naruto had known his identity and was looking for something, so he understood the other man's apprehension. Most of what made him able to open up so much last night was the anonymity. Perhaps it was the same for the blond.

"Sasuke," Naruto sighed, "it is highly inappropriate to become involved with a hotel guest. I've never done anything like this before. If anybody found out my job could be in jeopardy. Why did you ask me here instead of calling me?"

As soon as Sasuke realized he had been fidgeting, he clasped his hands together and hoped Naruto hadn't noticed. How could he tell the man that he was so excited to see him again that he hadn't put much thought into the situation? He couldn’t, his upbringing would not allow it. "I'm going to be leaving in a few hours and I wanted to see you first."

"I knew you weren't going to be around for long. I just...hoped that it wasn't going to be so soon that we'd have to say good-bye."

"I don't want it to be good-bye."

"Neither do I, but if you're leaving, what do you expect it to be? We don't really know each other and one night is not a foundation for a long distance relationship." Naruto held up his hand to avoid any interruptions. "Don't get me wrong, I like you, but what do you want?"

"I want you to go to dinner with me in three weeks when I come back."

Sasuke watched as the blond's mouth snapped shut and he blinked his eyes repeatedly like a moron. "What's the matter, idiot, never been asked out before?"

'I don't believe this asshole! Who does he think he is calling me an idiot? And...is he smirking at me?' Golden brows lifted as he took in the almost teasing sparkle in the luxurious dark eyes that would not look away from him. ‘Tease.’ Shaking his head in amusement, he took out his cell phone. "What's your number, bastard?" Inwardly chuckling, Naruto was pleased to note that it was his turn to take the other man off guard.

Recovering quickly, Sasuke provided his phone number and email address. Once he was finished entering the information, Naruto put the phone away.

“Now that that’s taken care of,” Naruto grinned clapping his hands together. “So, Mr. – ahh?”

“Uchiha.”

“Nice.” Clearing his throat, the impish smile was replaced by a calm and purely professional exterior. “So, Mr. Uchiha, is there anything I can do for you to make your check-out of the hotel more agreeable?”

“I can think of a few things.”

“Such as?”

“Well, we could use that last con-“

“Something that we have time for, you insatiable bastard.”

“In that case,” Sasuke motioned Naruto over. In a reversal of expressions, it was Sasuke whose eyes were twinkling while a smirk graced his lips. He was impressed by the other man’s control, that professional mask didn’t crack at all as Naruto approached him.

Without prompting, Naruto straddled the man’s legs, his attitude blankly respectful and expectant. His position on Sasuke’s lap aside, he appeared as though he were an employee awaiting orders. ‘Or maybe something else?’ The young Uchiha had to keep his libido under control at the thoughts of naughty role-playing they could indulge in when given the time. However, now was the time to be serious.

“You asked me what I want, which is a date. What do you want, Naruto?”

The unexpected question was enough to make Naruto drop the emotionless façade while he contemplated his answer. Sasuke really enjoyed how quickly Naruto was willing to open himself up and yet, he somehow understood that this was not common for the blond at all. He knew he was being given a gift and he had a feeling that Naruto, himself, would not be able to explain why he was so trusting with the raven.

“I think it would be easier to say what I don’t want. I don’t want to be your whore that you visit when you can.” Sasuke became very still at this, but allowed the blond to continue. “I don’t want this to interfere with my job, I’ve worked too damn long to let it get screwed up. So, if you do come back, I don’t want you to try to see me during my work hours.” Naruto took a deep breath and tensed. Sasuke assumed what was really worrying the young man was coming next.

“Mostly, I don’t want this to mean something to me if it’s just sex to you.”

They both sat there and despite their position, there was no arousal between them. Unconsciously, Sasuke’s hands came up to rest upon the muscled thighs hidden by the blond’s suit pants. When had this man become something that he wanted in his life? What did he want to happen between them? He cursed that he had to leave in just a few minutes because he would have appreciated the time to explore his feelings that had blindsided him.

“This stopped being about sex when I wanted your name.” He took in Naruto’s expression of amused disbelief and amended his statement. “Alright, it stopped being just about sex.” He enjoyed watching those lovely lips tremble with suppressed amusement and momentarily allowed himself to remember those full lips in other situations.

“Look, I don’t know what’s going to happen and I don’t have any plans. I came here for a job interview; after a bunch of really boring meetings, they offered me the job so I will be moving here in a few weeks. I’d like to see you when I’m settled and see what happens then. Ok?”

Sasuke held his breath as Naruto lightly pressed their foreheads together. He watched as blue eyes seemed to look into his soul and he hoped that the other man would be satisfied with what he finds. After a few moments, Naruto pulled back enough to bump their noses together, his breath fanning over Sasuke’s lips. “I’d love to go to dinner with you when you come back.”

Before they knew what happened, they were sharing their first truly soft kiss.

Hours later, Sasuke Uchiha sat in his first class seat looking out the window as the plane began its descent. He had graduated law school and finished his internship with the same firm his father had before him. Now, he was setting himself apart from his family and joining a law firm specializing in criminal defense. He found himself looking forward to the opportunities in front of him, as well as the excitement he felt when he thought of seeing his blond again.

He thought back to when Naruto escorted him down the elevator and to the front desk. Before the doors had opened and they were still alone together, Naruto had asked, “Sasuke, what is this?”

Inwardly he smiled as he remembered his response. “Let’s find out.”

The End.


A/N: Ok, so I had planned on the entire threeshot being just a bunch of sex during a one night stand. I didn’t foresee the amount of emotions that were going to come up in the second chapter, it just wrote itself. So, instead of lovely smut in this chapter, I needed to resolve some of those issues.

However, if you all want some more of this story, I am thinking of a sequel which I plan to start working on shortly.

Hope everyone enjoyed!
